Please see yesterday&#8217;s post for the fine print.

Aaron Rodgers has started 114 games (including playoffs) in his career.

Back in November, Cian Fahey tweeted me a simple question: &#8220;What is Alex Smith&#8217;s record in games where his D gives up 21 or more points?&#8221; I made a note to run the numbers in the off-season, and guess what?

In 2013, the average completion went for 11.63 yards. That&#8217;s a pretty low number historically, although it&#8217;s actually a bit higher than some of the recent NFL seasons.

Josh Gordon led the league with 1,646 receiving yards last year. That&#8217;s impressive: perhaps even more impressive is that he did it on &#8220;only&#8221; 159 targets, meaning he averaged 10.35 yards per target.1 But the most impressive part, of course, was that he did it for the Browns.

A month ago, I looked Jadeveon Clowney&#8217;s impressive time in the 40-yard dash. In that post, I argued that all 40-yard times must be adjusted for weight.

The NFL playoffs began in very entertaining fashion in Indianapolis. The Chiefs lost Jamaal Charles on the first drive of the game to a concussion, but stormed out to a 38-10 lead. Then the Colts pulled off the second greatest comeback in NFL history, eventually winning 45-44.

It stands to reason that when a team has a bottom five scoring offense, they&#8217;re going to make some changes. But today we&#8217;re going to quantify what we all know. By definition, there were 55 teams to rank in the bottom five in scoring from 2002 to 2012.

After a five-interception performance against a dominant Seattle pass defense, Eli Manning now has 25 interceptions this season. The odds are extremely low, but it&#8217;s not impossible that he throws ten more interceptions and ties the modern record set by Vinny Testaverde in 1988.

The consensus view on John Elway is clear. He was the greatest draft prospect ever, a league MVP, a two-time Super Bowl champion, a Hall of Famer, and one of the most clutch quarterbacks in football history.

Let&#8217;s be honest: we all know Aaron Rodgers is great, so we don&#8217;t spend much time talking about him.

On the surface, Russell Wilson and Ben Roethlisberger have almost nothing in common.
